I love NIN as much as anyone and I still prefer the original, but Cash's Hurt is, to me, the gold standard by which all other covers should be judged. Beyond "it's not as good as the original", what makes this one of the worst covers to you?

To me it just shits on the tone of the original. Plus I've heard a lot of people say they prefer Cash's version to the original or that they didn't even know Cash wasn't the original artist, which is real groanworthy. I'm a fan of some of Cash's stuff, just not that song.

Inasmuch as I appreciate NIN, Cash blew me away when I first heard the cover. I can see why people might hate it, but I'm the polar opposite. I can't get enough of it. :v:

Trent Reznor himself has said it's better than his version, and he feels like the song is more Cash's than his own now.

Yeah, I've heard that, but personally I still like Trent's original way more than Cash's. Cash's version just feels...wrong. It's felt that way to me for years.

cash's version could not close TDS

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I love this one.

For the worst cover I've ever seen from what is ostensibly an actual band, it's Xiu Xiu doing Fast Car. Like, how much can you possibly miss the point.

I mean I can certainly understand preferring the NIN original but saying it's one of the "worst cover songs" is just kind of dumb

I can't tell if they're intentionally changing the lyrics, or if it's an engrish-y translation.

Either way it's making my ears cry.

Are you saying Mechanix is a better song here? Cause I think just on the lyrical content that's a losing battle.
